I have done lots of web reading recently regarding MP cams and there is a sizeable following that will not recommend the MP 284/484 108 lobe angle camshaft (P4120235). Some even consider it a complete dog. I myself have ran these cams on more than one occasion with much great success and I don't understand the bad feedback. Most will say it can be out-performed with modern grind cams but with a factory iron head engine with no major porting, at least 10.0 to 1 compression, a 3000 rpm stall converter (if automatic), and decent rear gearing (3.55 or shorter) they have been real screamers for me. The drivability has never been an issue at all. I know I am opening a can of worms but I would like to read why these cams get no respect from some folks. Anyone wanting to give it respect should chime in as well.
